Even though the neox just came out, it's currently on sale at REI for US climbers and the epic tv shop for UK climbers
Even more of a reason to get one!
Hmmm… I can’t find it on the REI website. Says “item not found”. Only items were the Grigri and Grigri plus, both on sale.
@@j.l.5966a friend told me if the sale but the next day it was sold out
2:46 is not an issue lol.
So the grigri if you are a bad belayer with a grigri, you run the risk of short roping. What's the risk if you're a bad belayer with a neox?
It has all the risks associated with a device like the ATC or a normal belay plate.
@@lksclimbing for me that's the key disadvantage: it's less safe than a grigri if you lose control of the brake side of the rope. That shouldn't ever happen with any belay device, but the grigri seems to be better at auto-locking, the neox could have trouble in high friction scenarios.
But the gri gri can slip and is in safe in that manner! Always keep the dead rope under control!
I think this is focusing on the wrong point. The short roping o. Lead is only a problem for beginners maybe the first day of use. The real issue is that since you have to learn a different technique (holding the cam) to correctly belay with a grigri it is a problem when you need to change device. I go climbing multi pitch climbs in the Verdon we’ll need to use double ropes so I can’t use a grigri and I need to make sure I practice a bit with a reverso before.
With the neox you can go back and forth between tube and grigri with no acclimation time.
@@lksclimbing i disagree. I have the neox and it locks up as quickly as the grigri. If you're not holding the brake strand you shouldn't be belaying, it doesn't matter what device you're using.
